Abstract
To balance the outbreak in density which is currently focused in Rahmat Nagar and encourage a city that is open for newcomers, the connection between Nalasopara West and East should be embraced. In order to achieve this connection and create a community linking both sides of the railway, issues such as urban markers, collective spaces, variety in dwelling types and the seek for ownership should be investigated. Finally, to transform this project into a possible action plan for other developments in Mumbai, density and profitability for developers should be of high importance. Considering all these aspects, I aim to investigate and make a solid contribution to the discussion about affordable housing in Mumbai.
